Went out last night to catch some Walleye and it gave me fitts getting it started, when it finnaly started it ran good ,but some times it seemed like it would run out of gas. The ball would stay hard , but if I would move the hose it would run fine again. The fuel line is about 6' long ,and the primer bulb is in the center of the line, it doesnt seem to get pinched off but moving it seems to make a differance. Could the line be to long? I would appreciate any imput or possible solutions. Thanks

The Length don't matter but a bad bulb will do that.
